Arash Farboud founded Farboud Limited in 1999. In 2006, the company’s name was changed to Arash Motor Company Ltd.

Arash believes that sports cars should have a distinctive and individual character. Above all they should be exhilarating to drive and to own. Arash holds these beliefs today in launching the new AF8 ensuring the history and heritage of past cars that he has built (Farboud GT, Farboud GTS and AF10) are firmly embedded in the concepts of the AF8’s evolution and to evolve Arash Motor Company’s future.

"Today the ability to define who you are is about what you do and how you conduct your day. It's also about your background experiences and your beliefs.

Their belief is that you have a choice today for anything you wish and to be as individual as you want - why not with a sports car? Let it be fun, playful and exciting. Let it be a piece of automotive art - something timeless and a great part of your life.

7.0 ltr V8
- 560 horsepower @ 7500Rpm
- 645Nm of torque @ 6000Rpm

A short overhang front, a jet like forward position for the driver’s cockpit and the large flat rear back ends suggesting that the car is wider than normal which mentally indicates where all the power is coming from. The windscreen wide and shaped at the edges suggesting motorsport. The crease at the top of the roof line suggesting flow and integrity of air over the car. A short overhang rear suggesting speed, readiness to react and pounce, all energy in the rear portion of the car with its strong side view area and large lower intake channels. Curves and clean designs intertwined, a balance of style and discipline.

The side profile has the unmistakeable indication that this is Arash through the S or Z shape. This shape is carried over into the interior door cards of the car, as well as, the front and rear lights. It has become its signature and a suggestion to the future.

The detail continues with large side air ducts that divert and force air into the engine intake system. Induction noise near the driver’s ears - a melody of excitement and energy. The rear engine cover uses an eclectic mix of beautiful meshing, glass shapes and naked lacquered carbon to make a complex, but beautiful shape of encasing the amazing V8 engine and gearbox.

AF8 has one of the largest rear tyres Michelin could supply - 345 width on 20 inch wheels - the largest contact patch they have ever made to date. Each wheel is made of forged aluminium, taking 3 days per wheel to machine and then finished in a dual paint system, polished and checked.

Almost every light on the AF8 uses LED technology, the ultimate in efficiency, cool radiance and crystal clear light emission. The rear light clusters are machined from a solid billet of aluminium to the finest detail and finally polished, anodised and lacquered for that deep multi layered look.

Finally at the back of the car is the permanently raised rear wing. All this, (without the added weight of assistance devices) is a true testament to every part considered and innovated beyond its initial idea.
